Description maxx 2003-02-18 08:56:02 UTC 
Description of Problem:
You used to be able to rightclick the main
menu/foot menu and from that menu select
properties. This would give you a dialog where you
could choose what format the menu should be in, if
it should include KD submenu, if there should be
an Applications submenu, etc.

It is now gone.

I have looked in gconf and have found the key for
it, and I am thinking of including these settings
in  Configurator for Gnome if they are out of
gnome proper. However I haven't been able to
figure out what bits do what and how to get the
correct name of the key - any help?

Additional Information:
RedHat 7.2
Gnome 2.2 installed using garnome 0.21.2

notabug, it was intentionally removed awhile ago during a ui review.
Comment 2 Mantas Kriaučiūnas 2003-10-14 12:35:39 UTC 
Lots of people still miss this feature - please, bring it back.

It might help you to read

Havoc put this bit especially well:

"
Special bugzilla rule: if you move a bug from WONTFIX or NOTABUG to
REOPENED, you had damn well better add additional, quality rationale
at the same time, or prepare to be flamed.

So "Lots of people still miss this feature" is bad rationale? What
were the reasons for intentional removal of this feature?
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2003-10-14 14:28:14 UTC 
Question is: how do you know there are lots of people who miss this
feature? Maybe more people are satisfied the way it is and don't feel
the need to express it. "Lots of people want this" is not a good
argument. Good arguments for this feature are welcomed.
